Knicks should buy CP3

The Knicks should throw out 100 Million & ending contract to New Orleans and get Chris Paul in a Knicks uniform. Remember it worked great for the Yankees and Babe Ruth. This would make Dolan a hero and the toast of NY city, but I bet there some type of NBA rule against buying a player like this.
Remember New Orleans owner is in trouble and a 100 million could do the trick. Your thoughts?

I don't understand why we can't just draft or develop our own superstar(s), it seems like it's not just a Knick thing but a NY sports thing in general. Always just buy another teams superstar instead of drafting our own. It was great watching Ewing in his prime, knowing he was homegrown etc...

The yankees won with a core of posada, Bernie, Jeter, pettite, El Duque and Rivera heading the way all home grown super stars, now we add cano, hughes, chamberlain, wang, melky, cervelli who all appear to be up and coming quality performers all part of our system

ALl the best players int he league play for the team who drafted them.

I dont know what your talking about

WE are just finally now tapping into what you asking for so thanks walsh and Mike D for rebuilding frmo the ground up, I dont think we are depending on a star to come here and save the day, we are just making sure that if one wants to sign with us we have the money to do so.,

Such a gross misconception that NY teams (i.e. Yankees, Giants, Knicks....meh, Mets, too) don't develop homegrown talent and "just buy players". Great post, Harper. And it's not like us keeping the options open to make a crisp FA acquisition is mutually exclusive with us drafting well and grooming studs (Gallo, Lee, Chandler, etc.)

I totally agreed with u..... i really want to develop our own superstar!!

You kinda need to draft a superstar type player. We've drafted a lot of players since Ewing. No one even became half the star Pat was. And the players we do trade away never really end up being successful anyway.

The Clippers finally got someone they can grow with. We have no one. So you talk trades.
